Liverpool to win

WHY: This is the anchor bet. Forest managed just 0.65 xG at home to Leeds and lost, then produced even less in the cup rematch and they arrive at Anfield off the back of two defeats in four days under a manager who is their fifth head coach in less than a year.

Liverpool were far from perfect at Newcastle, but 27 shots is an enormous return for an away game and they twice showed character to come from behind.

Forest’s remarkable recent record at Anfield, where they have won on their last two visits, including a 3-0 win in November, made me look twice but this Forest side have been a shadow of themselves so far. That is why I am happy taking the 1/2 to kick off our bet builder.

KEY STAT: Nottingham Forest have failed to score in 180 minutes of football this season, losing both meetings with Leeds.

Alexander Isak 1+ shot on target

WHY: Isak is Liverpool’s undisputed number nine this season with Hugo Ekitike still out with an Achilles problem and he wasted no time getting going in his second campaign since the British record £125m move from Newcastle.

He had four shots and two on target against his former club last weekend and with Forest giving up 11 shots at home to Leeds on the opening day, one shot on target is the least I expect.

KEY STAT: Isak registered two shots on target from four attempts in Liverpool’s opener at Newcastle.

Cody Gakpo 1+ shot on target

WHY: Gakpo led all Liverpool players with six shots at St James’ Park and scored the equaliser, a low drive from 20 yards. Only one of the six was on target, but that volume is exactly what I want from this market, and he kept his place on the left despite continued talk of Tottenham interest.

Six-shot performances produce shots on target far more often than not and I much prefer this leg at 2/5 to chasing him in the anytime scorer market.

KEY STAT: Gakpo’s six shots against Newcastle were the most of any Liverpool player on the opening weekend.
